    Worth keeping KDB for this week?

    Also, would you switch double Pool def to maybe Alonso or United def?

      Why would you not want KDB this week?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Will he 100% play?

    2. Top Lad Dakes.

      Alonso looks a good shout

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Yeah been thinking about him

    Are people still allowed to watch the matches on the stadium? 😀

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    are the games being played behind closed doors or with fans?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      With fans

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        oh wow

      2. Top Lad Dakes.

        Oh boy. Asking for trouble tbh

    Ahem....I just want to point out that this is the most important FPL season ever........

      Pool supporter?

      1. DannyDrinkVodka

        Observer of history

    Have Martial/KDB as injury doubts, currently benching Perez.

    With 2FT 0.3 ITB though, thinking of selling Perez for Sarr/another similar BGW player - but then would you play him over any of my starting XI, or keep first sub? Team:

    McC (Martin)
    TAA Lascelles Boly (Taylor Rico)
    Salah Mane KDB* Martial* (Perez)
    Ings Jimenez DCL

    Thanks! 🙂

      I wouldn't be going for any player involved in the Leicester game until right before deadline

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        But I’m saying if I bought a Perez replacement LIKE Sarr or a WHU mid, would you play them over any of my guys this week?

  6. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years

    We must persevere for the world to see that fantasy sports can and will lead the way

  7. DannyDrinkVodka

    Boris has a team........and it’s 60 points behind the ML leader

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Link or you’re chatting out your arse.

      Who’s BoJo’s ML leader

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I’m guesstimating, it’s what we use here in the UK to predict how many hundreds of thousands of people are going to die this year

    2. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Surely not, Dominic Cummings manages his time for him

  8. Sargasso C

    FPL fantasy need to post a 'what if' set of rules. This premier league season doesnt get finished. Zero chance. What happens in leagues if the season ends game week 32?

  9. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Love the great news that all matches go ahead in the Premier and EFL leagues with fans. 😀

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      At present

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I have:

    - Pereira (ACL, out for season)
    - Stevens (Calf, out for two weeks)
    - Perez (Self-isolation rumour?)
    - Traore (Benched again?)
    - Rico (Benched)

    Oh no 😆

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Add Aubameyang...

  11. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Doherty subbed tactical, precaution, injured?

  12. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I’m definitely captaining a Chelsea or Man I player this week, so better option out of these 2?:

    A) Bruno (C) + Lascelles
    B) Pedro (C) + Alonso (-4)

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      A

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Probably A.

      I can’t decide between Mane(c) or risk it on Martial. Don’t own any Chelsea

  13. MrFrodo
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I’m not sure what to do with my team for GW31 I will only have 6 players. What should I do?

    A. Free Hit
    B. Play with the 6 and use the free hit in a DGW later on.

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      This virus will probably make the decision for you

  14. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Arteta has coronavirus

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Serious? Link?

        1. Pengen
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Domino effect from here?

          1. Rotation's Alter Ego

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 16 days ago

            Could see WOL WHU go. Arsenal has to go. Where do the PL decide to call it and minimise future disruption?

        2. Willmissudimitrypayet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Thanks... This is sad news.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      So no arsenal games

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Any news on KDB fitness?

    Likely to start at the weekend?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      In training..he’ll start now no Real

  16. Iggypop
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    We've seen playing behind closed doors doesn't work, pubs will be rammed, fans still gather outside stadiums etc

  17. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Arteta has coronavirus

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Aaaaaaah, this Gameweek gets better and better.

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Surely that alone will lead to the suspension of all football matches

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        if that won't, then I'm not sure anything will.
        BJ said 'considering' and that should push it over to acting

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Apparently Dybala as well

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      So that's zero first team squad. Zero game?

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Mikel Arteta has tested positive for Coronavirus.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Look up

  19. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    definitely cancelled for the weekend then?

  20. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Anyone know why Jamie Vardy is flagged?, havent been able to find a Rodgers quote or LFC statement on social media about him

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      "Should" play.

  21. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Aubameyang OUT

  22. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Ah well auba to jimi

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Wolves have WHU - will they be out as well? Not long ago they played Arsenal.

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Brighton-Arsenal postponed?

  24. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    The games absolutely have to be called off. This is madness

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Arteta s got it.

  26. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Sense in waiting to use FH if there’s a chance the season could be suspended? Just spunk it now even though I have Salah Mane Trent Boly Jimenez Taylor, and 3FT before the 31 deadline?

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Auba to Vardy?

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Injury doubt

    2. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      He is out possibly

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Wait for Leicester teamsheet from the Twitter mole at about 11am tomorrow

      If Vardy starts - cap him

  28. IRBOX ⚽

    FPL is done. Abondoned season is the only correct thing to do

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years

      Facts

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      The guy in 1st agrees.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        I’m saying everyone gets the same rank: X

        He likely wouldn’t be in 1st at season end

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          With all his chips, I'd bet on it.
          X would be a joke.

  29. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years

    Arteta & dybala infected

  30. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Jesus. No way that game is going ahead is there
